Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I would find truth offensive too...
If I had not allowed myself a break,
From my delusions.
...

Sure.
Go ahead,
And leave me with your pain.
Sure.
...

You have hurt me more than the wounds,
I can show.
More than any scars.
Of those thrown mental blows.
...

Accustomed to doing everything at the last minute,
May work for those choosing to make an impression...
Of showing an appearance,
But not necessarily interested in the event...
...

They are more affected,
By my success...
With a displaying of their false pretentions,
Than I have earned the right to express...
...

Economic liberties,
And those entitled to experience them...
Seems to be the title of a new movie,
To entice those fantasized by Science Fiction.
...

Absence is absence.
Yet silence without absence,
Can still be felt not to miss.
And makes no difference,
...

Everything makes a difference,
When a face is placed on it.
Especially for the racists,
Who bar-b-que themselves...
...

If I have to look at life,
From my perspective AND yours...
Since I do anyway.
To survive a more diversed life than you do.
...

As soon as it has been discovered,
Someone believed known...
Uncovers they have found it easy,
To be dishonest in your life.
...
